Brooks Ghost 17 – The Perfect Road Shoe for Walking and Running

Get ready to experience the road like never before with the all-new Brooks Ghost 17 — a road shoe crafted for walkers and runners who crave comfort, consistency, and a little extra boost with every step. Whether you’re taking a casual stroll through your neighborhood or logging serious miles on your morning run, the Ghost 17 is designed to make every journey feel smooth, energized, and effortless.

At the heart of the Ghost 17’s performance is its revolutionary nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, a proprietary technology that delivers a perfect blend of softness and responsiveness. With every step you take, the advanced cushioning releases a rush of positive, feel-good energy, encouraging you to move further and faster without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re walking to clear your mind or pushing through a long run, the Ghost 17 ensures you’ll feel supported from your first mile to your last.

For walkers and runners alike, the updated cushioning profile is a game-changer. Brooks has added an extra 1mm of DNA LOFT v3 in the heel and 3mm in the forefoot, creating an even softer, more balanced ride. The result? A smoother heel-to-toe transition that makes walking feel lighter and running feel easier. If you’re someone who spends long hours on your feet or is just starting your fitness journey, this extra comfort underfoot can make all the difference in keeping you motivated and feeling fresh.

The Ghost 17 is not just about plush comfort — it’s engineered to deliver a smooth, reliable ride on every outing. Its Segmented Crash Pad, a system of shock absorbers, adapts to your unique stride and promotes seamless movement from landing to push-off. Whether you’re tackling a brisk walk around town, logging miles on a training run, or simply enjoying an afternoon on your feet, the Ghost 17 adapts to your pace, your mood, and your goals.

Another standout feature is the Ghost 17’s new versatile design. The modern, streamlined silhouette pairs effortlessly with your activewear or casual outfits, while a wide assortment of colors lets you express your personal style. Whether you prefer classic neutrals or vibrant, mood-boosting hues, there’s a Ghost 17 that matches your vibe. And because Brooks understands that good looks mean nothing without great function, the shoe’s lightweight mesh upper provides breathable support, keeping your feet cool and secure during long walks or fast runs.

One of the key strengths of the Ghost 17 is its versatility. If you're someone who likes to mix up walking and running within the same workout, or simply want a dependable shoe you can reach for no matter what your day holds, this model is a natural choice. It’s cushioned enough for long walks through city streets or parks, yet responsive enough for those days when you feel like picking up the pace. It’s built for the road — but it’s also built for real life.

Ideal for neutral runners and walkers who prioritize softness without losing efficiency, the Ghost 17 offers a balanced experience that suits beginners and seasoned athletes alike. Whether you're recovering from an injury, just getting into a daily walking routine, training for a 5K, or simply looking for a comfortable shoe to accompany you through your everyday adventures, the Ghost 17 is ready to meet you exactly where you are — and then help you go even further.

Feel the rush of positive energy, enjoy every step, and discover your new favorite walking and running companion with the Brooks Ghost 17.
